Save the date for the Igor Zabel Award for Culture and Theory 2024 and its accompanying programme, which will take place on 29 November 2024 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Igor Zabel Award acknowledges the exceptional achievements of curators, art historians, theorists, writers, and critics in the field of visual art and culture in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe. Named in honour of the distinguished Slovenian curator and art historian Igor Zabel (1958–2005), the award, an initiative of the ERSTE Foundation (Vienna), has been conferred biennially since 2008 in cooperation with ERSTE Foundation and the Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory (Ljubljana).
This year, the award programme takes its inspiration from the Igor Zabel’s supportive, care-full, and cooperative way of working in the field of art and culture.
